Item description from seller

Language: English. About The Book: The Syllabus of a Complete Course of Lectures on Chemistry, prepared for the British East India Company's Military Seminary at Addiscombe, aimed to equip young officers with practical chemistry knowledge. The course focused on improving industries crucial to colonial India, including agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. Topics covered included basic chemistry, metallurgy, glass-making, dyes, agricultural chemistry (fertilizers, pest control), and mining processes. It also emphasized the application of chemistry in military engineering, infrastructure projects, and armaments. The syllabus was designed to support the officers' roles in advancing the British Empire's economic and technological interests in India. About The Author: Edward Solly (1819–1886) was an English chemist and antiquary known for his work in chemistry, particularly in agriculture and plant science. In 1838, he was appointed chemist to the Royal Asiatic Society and, in 1845, became professor of chemistry at Addiscombe College. Solly conducted experiments on the effects of electricity on plant growth and was involved in the Great Exhibition of 1851, where he served as a juror. He published a significant paper on iodine's electrical conductivity at 17 and later authored Rural Chemistry (1843). Solly also contributed to genealogical and literary studies, editing works on hereditary titles and publishing in various periodicals.
